Keyword Search looks for the "term" (one word or number works best) you type throughout the whole record. It is less accurate than the advanced search but it does let you search for age, religion, mother's maiden name, etc. if transcribed.

Note: Same clergyman as prior marriage I transcribed.. I believe it's Joseph D Gillis.
